I usually aim high but overcast weather led me to this image. "Hold on tight, there's some wild curves on this ride" /Mitch ![]() Date: 10/16/06 20:43 Re: Speed Entry "Hold on Tight!" (Contest) Author: anthracite Mitch, superb concept shot! And your timing was excellent. Thanks for thinking outside of the "cloudy day" box. Days like that often yield the inspiration for some of my favorite photos I've taken over the years.

(Contest) Author: wa4umr WOW! Just wonder how you got the background to move so fast while you stood there to photograph the train.

Timing is everything. ; ) Date: 10/18/06 05:56 Re: Speed Entry "Hold on Tight!" (Contest) Author: Jollymon Wow! That picture is the functional essence of railroading; Movement and the joined coupler pair. Very nice composition. I intend to download this one.
Later..... Jollymon Date: 10/18/06 18:42 Re: Speed Entry "Hold on Tight!" (Contest) Author: tracktime This deserves the Grand Prize for sure! I saw your photo elsewhere, and I was hoping that you would submit it here.

Saw this on the other site too and really like it. Off subject but your quote reminds me of the Disneyland Big Thunder RR safety announcement before you leave the boarding station: "Hang onto your hats and glasses, folks, cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!" |
